How Hexaware and ServiceNow FSO Are Reimagining Insurance Servicing

The Hexaware and ServiceNow Financial Services Operations (FSO) partnership helps insurers overcome fragmented, manual workflows across distribution, underwriting, policy servicing, and claims. By delivering a connected, AI-powered, workflow-led operating model on a single digital insurance platform, they enable insurers to modernize operations without disrupting core systems. The result is faster turnaround times, improved customer experiences, greater operational efficiency, and a scalable digital foundation for the future.

Key Takeaways

• Insurance operations remain fragmented. Many insurers have modernized core systems but still rely on manual, siloed processes for distribution, underwriting, servicing, and claims.
• ServiceNow FSO for insurance provides the unifying platform. It delivers connected digital workflows across all insurance functions without disrupting existing core systems.
• Hexaware brings insurance-specific expertise. Solutions like the RapidX ®-powered underwriter workbench offer purpose-built automation for high-complexity areas such as underwriting.
• Automation and AI in insurance operations are central. Intelligent routing, predictive analytics, AI/ML-enabled decision support, and automated intake reduce cycle times and improve accuracy.
• Omnichannel engagement is a priority. Customers and brokers expect seamless interactions across voice, web, mobile, email, and chat, which these solutions deliver.
• Claims transformation drives loyalty. Faster, more transparent claims processing directly improves customer trust and satisfaction.
• Low-code scalability future-proofs operations. Pre-built applications and low-code configuration allow insurers to adapt and innovate quickly.

Moving Beyond Traditional Insurance Operations

For years, insurers have invested heavily in core systems for insurance operations modernization. However, many operational processes surrounding those systems still remain manual and siloed.

A policy update may involve multiple teams. Claims processing often requires coordination across disconnected applications. Underwriters may still rely on emails, spreadsheets, and fragmented submissions. Customer servicing journeys frequently lack real-time visibility.

Modern insurers require:

• Connected workflows across functions
• Faster servicing and response times
• Intelligent automation
• Omnichannel customer engagement
• AI-powered decision support
• Scalable low-code innovation

ServiceNow FSO provides the digital workflow foundation to unify these operations while enabling insurers to modernize experiences without disrupting core systems.

The insurers that succeed in the future will be those that can unify workflows across distribution, underwriting, servicing, and claims while leveraging AI and automation to improve both operational efficiency and customer experience.

With ServiceNow FSO and Hexaware, insurers can modernize operations without disrupting core systems, accelerate workflow automation, and create scalable digital insurance ecosystems built for the future.
